He has long typified the qualities reflected by our student body. Well known is the bull- dog for his adventurous spirit; likewise, the students of (). II. S. do not always conform to a standard pattern, but dare to be original, anti delight in contribu- ting new ideas to the school. It is with deter- mination that these ideas are carried out, an- other quality representative of the bulldog. Perhaps the most outstanding character- istic of a bulldog is his tenacity. When he sets his jaws into something, he holds on; (). 11. S. dreams have become real through the tenacious efforts of her students. During one school day, a student at Ot- tumwa High School meets “familiar faces , and at the close of day, while participating in the extra-curricular activities of the Bulldog School, he visits “familiar places”. When the awaited Friday night arrives, he attends a Bulldog game to cheer our familiar players .

Without learning and knowledge, our civilization would soon decay. Realizing that schools are an essential part of any dem- ocratic country, the citizens of Ottumwa lib- erally support the public schools. Every year the voters go to the polls to choose citizens to govern the schools. Seven people make up the Board of Education. This year the seven are: Harold Wilson, Laurence Reedquist, G. W.Ix� crke, Airs. Alatt Lawrence, Harry Wing, C. I). Evans, and S. G. Rickard. 'Phis group deserves the praise and thanks of all because thev serve three year terms devot ing a great deal of time and they receive no compensation. Their duties are numerous. Among these are the approving of expenditures for equip- ment, determining of educational policies of the sixteen Ottumwa schools, selecting all teachers, custodians, office forces, buying edu- cational aids, textbooks, and the control of all maintenance. In the past, the Board of Education has made many long range plans, and this group is no exception. Already plans have beein drawn up for three new schools in various parts of town; junior highs on the south and east sides and a new Garfield school. The schools of Ottumwa are among the foremost in the state. Much of the credit for this must be given to Frank V. Dourna, the superintendent of schools for the past ten years. We should be most thankful that we have citizens interested enough in our welfare to devote time and effort in our l ehalf. We truly appreciate the work of our Board of Education. Row I H. V. Wilson.

Page 15 Character, scholarship, leadership, and service four sometimes awe-inspiring words signify Torch Club, the goal of every upper- classman and the greatest honor to be bestowed upon a student of Ottumwa High School. Membership in Torch Club is awarded only to those students who have shown, with- out doubt, that they are the outstanding mem- bers of their class. Gaining actual admittance into Torch Club is no simple task. Prospective members are decided u|x n by elections, balloting living done by a secret committee of faculty members, who must consider carefully the merits and demerits on the record of each student eligible for membership. High scholastic marks are not the onlv requirement for this unsurpassed honor. Equal- ly important are those distinctive traits of fine character and leadership coupled with actual service to the school. Any junior or senior jx ssessing all of these qualifications is truly deserving of the honor of membership. Though Torch Club, sponsored by Miss Enoch, has no projects or activities, several meetings or picnics are held throughout the year, and at one of these meetings, officers are elected. Members chosen to act as officers this year are Hart Williamson, president; Mari- lee Knebel, vice-president: Bob Angle, secre- tary. Invaribly Torch Club members strive to set an example for others. Therefore, if you notice a student with his head held a bit higher his grin a bit wider, his step a bit surer, notice the small, but prominent, pin on his sweater a flaming torch and a keystone bearing the letters C. S. L. S., the emblem of Torch Club, National Honor Society.

The organiza- tion for this purpose at (). I I. S. is the Student Council. The duties of this group are numer- ous and imposing. Of these, placing and con- trol of the student reserves, operation of a lost and found department, a checkroom, and (he collection of absence slips, are but a few. The most important task conducted is the trial and sentencing of rule offenders. Every student is given a fair chance to prove his in- nocence before being sentenced by the judge, a Student Council member. All is not work, however, for Miss Rose Miller, the Council's adviser, and the other members arrange a party at the close of each year. Where but in America can such a democ- racy be found among the youth in the schools!

' Any number of words could not describe more perfectly the purpose of the cafeteria of the Ot- tumwa High School. This modern feature of the school, which is conducted on a non-profit basis, serves approximately two hundred and fifty students daily. Managing the cafeteria is a task that requires many decisions. Weather conditions which vary the number of meals served, is one of the chief problems. The manager for this year is Mrs. Marie Bottorff. She succeeds Mrs. A. 0. Thompson who retired after being at O. II. S. for twenty- three years. Under the capable guidance of Mrs. Bot- torff, the cafeteria will continue to Ik one of the most modern and convenient assets of our school. Anna Penny Lillian Boland Marie Bottorff May Wilford Harriet Wells Pack 20 ENGINEERS The hul) that keeps the wheels of the Ot- tumwa High School turning smoothly is a perfect description of the engineers of our school. Very often students do not fully re- alize the importance of this group, probably, lx cause they never see them at work. Most of their tasks are done before the students get to school, while they are in class, or after they have been dismissed. The perfect condition of the school, how- ever, is a constant reminder that the custodi- ans are never idle. Cleaning of the many rooms, manipulating all of the mechanical de- vices, and operating the heating units are only a small | ortion of their daily work. Basket- ball and football also bring many other duties since both the stadium and the gymnasium are under their supervision. Under the capable direction of Mr. Leslie Thompson, who is in charge of all Ottumwa schools, and Mr. Chester Miers, the engineers of the Ottumwa High School will continue to make it a school of which all students will be proud.

President The outstanding record of the brilliant suc- cesses that are attributed to the class of 1946 for their work through the past four years can l e credited for the most part, to the under- standing help and guidance of the class adviser. Miss Florence Fast. Miss Fast has worked diligently through- out the last three years, planning, organizing, and generally smoothing the way for all the projects undertaken. As their high school life slips by anil they take their place in the world, the class of 46 ' will remember with gratifica- tion the patient assistance she has given them all, individually, and as a class. Pack 22 Dos Ferguson President Gbnk Gi.bnn Vice President Virginia Burt Secretary Ed Smith Treasurer enior Cla The goal has l een at- tained Inc place of hono on the roll of Ottumwa High School graduating classes has been filled the class of 1946 has stepped forward to take its place in the world. The high school record of this class has been a brilliant one, bright with successes and honors attained by the class as a whole and by the individuals within the class. Their three years at Ottumwa I ligh School have l een crammed with outstanding achievements in every field. Many excellent dramatic productions were staged with their talent, athletics reached a new high, boasting top-notch football anti basketball teams, while track came into its own with many members of the class of '46 participating in the first meets held in the beautiful new stadium. With their talents, the seniors have gained for Ot- tumwa High School a place of renown through- out the state in fields of music and declamatory, as well as athletics. New records were set for the financial successes of such projects as the Junior Car- r nival and Junior-Senior prom. Schol- astic standards were maintained at a high level. The members of the class of 1946 will long remember the thrill of receiv- ing their diplomas, and the feeling of regret that all of them experienced when they realized that they must leave the familiar good times l ehind them to start on new and untried paths. They will also remember the fun of working aided by the efficient class officers. They, too, will recall the guidance offered them by their competent class adviser. Miss Florence Fast. All of these things will be recollected by them these and many, many more, each one a vital part of their outstanding high school career. Page 23 Fame with wisdom we will mix. We're the class of '46.

President Jim Ekland, Treasurer Miss Eiciime, Adviser The class of '47 is now three-fourths of the way up the well-known ladder of success. With the tireless and willing help of our teachers and our adviser, Miss Eighme, the Junior Class has endeavored to overcome, to the best of their ability, every obstacle that they have encountered. Although Miss Eighme has been at the Ottumwa High School for only three years, she has capably adapted herself to the difficult position of class adviser. The officers chosen to assist her in this task were: president, Edd Buckley; vice-president, I iarold Stevens; secretary, Jo Ann Newell; and treasurer, Jim Erland. Under this superb leadership we fell sure of ultimate success. The Junior Class maintains a prominent po- sition in the extra-curricular activities of the school, for from our ranks have come some of this years' heroes of football and basketball. dramatic stars, and out- standing debaters. Glory and honor have also come to those possessing high scholastic ability and those who have received election to one of the various honor- ary societies. After the success of the carnival the members of the class united their efforts to make the Junior-Senior Prom a fitting culmination to their year’s work. The innumerable hours spent in planning, decorat- ing, and executing the Junior-Senior Prom made one of the happiest and dearest memories of our Junior year. The Junior Class has striven to excel in all undertakings, and we are sure that the future will be richer because of the past. With eager anticipation we look forward to the oncoming year. Our motto written by one of our own members, vividly expresses the desire and aspirations of every member of the Junior Class. “Fame and honor we hold dear, P 4 • PP 4 is our year.

Vice-President Sophomore Class We, the members ol the Sophomore Class, having completed the first rung on the ladder of high school success, anil lacking but a short time before assuming the exalted title of juniors, pause at this time to run through the pages of our sophomore memory book and muse a bit over the experiences of the past year. The preceding months were exciting ones overflowing with new ideas, activities, and experiences. Gradually, however, we became familiar with our school, and perhaps not so gradually we came to feel that we were a defi- nite part of the various activities functioning around us. Our enjoyment of high school life was increased many times by the advice and sympathetic guidance of our teachers, coun- sellors, and adviser. For their service we are most grateful. Though the Sophomore Class itself gains no renown by sponsorship of im- portant functions, as do the junior and senior groups, many sophomores have found prominent places for themselves in sports, dramatics, student coun- cil, and other activities. These soph- omores are well on the way to become the athletic heroes and Dramatic Club stars of the near future. Our undefeated basketball team made an enviable record. Our class is under the able sponsorship of Miss Maasdam. who conducted so successfully the sophomore election held last September. The officers elected at that time were, Jim Davis, president; Betty Thatcher, vice-president; Rob- ert Ackley, secretary; and Ruth Troeger. treas- urer. When a hushed crowd watches silently, three years hence, as the class of '48 appears on the stage, the audience may be certain they are viewing a group that will carryout to a letter the inspiring words of their yell Pace 53 “Always ready never late, 'We're the class of'48.” SOPHOMORE CLASS Row I J.

Kvery boy and girl of 0. II. S. recalls the happy memories of each school year as he or she leafs through the pages of their school year- book, the Argus Annual. To satisfy this long- ing for a memorable yearbook, the business stall and the editorial staff have worked as a team endeavoring to prepare a book that will preserve the memories of the 1945-1946 school year. I laving completed a year’s work for the Annual, the members of the ad staff believe that their efforts were not in vain. Many ad- vertisements were sold to business firms and professional men; thus assuring the staff of financial success. Likewise the members of the editorial group have not only, in preparing the numer- ous editorials, gained a wealth of knowledge as they write of the curricular and extra-curricular activities of the school, but also have developed skill in the journalistic field. Many times it has seemed impossible to proceed against numerous obstacles, but with the gracious aid of Miss King, the Argus ad- viser, these obstacles have been successfully met and overcome. Thus, through the combined efforts of all, this yearbook was destined to be a success. Routine work Marilcc Kncbcl and Jack Traul- wein, checking nefs Page 63 Row I Marilyn Dodds, Mary Ann Horner.

It is a means by which students may gain practical anti helpful knowledge in journalism. The members of the staff, numbering approximately twenty- five, have been selected according to their ability in different phases of journalistic en- deavor. The complete staff is composed of the editorial staff, news reporters, advertising staff, circulation staff, printing staff, and the Argus Daily editors. Instead of having one editor as in previous years, there is now an editor for each page. The News has kept the school informed of extra-curricular activities, school gossip, forth coming assemblies, sports, and various other affairs. Numerous operations are per- formed before the paper is ready for publica- tion. After the assignments arc covered and handed in, the material is then typed, proof- read, and is next sent to the Courier where the linotype operator sets up the type. Then after necessary corrections have been made, the type is sent to the printing department of Ot- tumwa Nigh School, where it goes through the final stages. The paper is then ready for sale and may be obtained for five cents or free if one's stamp-card is up to date. Additional honors are given to those of the Argus News Staff who have excelled in service, character, and scholarship. The pos- sessors of these qualities are eligible for mem- bership in Quill and Scroll and the Arguseers, both national journalistic societies. Under the able leadership of Miss Cres- well, sponsor, and Miss Burrish, critic, the paper has proved to l e a valuable asset to our school.

Among the numerous extra-curricular activities in Ottumwa High School, one of the most interesting is Declam. The speech training received in this organization pro- vides an excellent background for the de- velopment of one's personality and ability to speak with poise and assurance. Declam is divided into three main di- visions: humorous, oratorical, and dramatic. Each year the members compete in a local contest, from which is selected the best speakers. These speakers, if successful, then advance to county, sub-district, dis- trict, and state contests. The “Iowa Nine” is another contest in which the outstanding speakers participate. 'Flic presentation of prose, poetry, radio speaking, extemporaneous speaking, and original oratory is another phase of declam. These presentations are given in various cities throughout the school year. Two of the most important contests are those held at Coe College and Iowa City. Under the able supervision of Mr. I lamley, this year is destined to be one of outstanding achievements and success. Pack ( 8 DEBATE “And furthermore”... this is a typical phrase one might often hear il he were to visit a meeting of the 0. 11. S. Debate Club. The students of Ottumwa High who are especially interested in public speaking, and who are willing to pul forth a reasonable amount of effort in compiling material, have become the successful debaters of O. H. S. Under the direction of Mr. Lawrence I lam ley, the members participate in intramural debates, and go on out of town trips. Through these activities they attempt in every way to improve their thinking and speaking abilities. Some of these out of town trips include traveling to contests sponsored by the “Iowa Nine”, the Speech Association of Iowa, and the University of Iowa. Our teams have been unusually successful in these debates. The goal the Debate Club members strive to attain is acquiring thirty points for a letter. These points are obtained by participation in intra-school” activities, such as the debate sponsored by the Ottumwa Daily Courier for the benefit of underclassmen.

L The original pur]x se of the National For- ensic League is still its primary one. namely, to stimulate interest in debate and oratory by offering suitable recognition for successful par- ticipation in those activities. The league provides three definite rewards: national mem- bership and the N. F. L. key, advanced de- grees. and national recognition. Membership in the League not only arouses a student’s interest, but also retains the interest and urges him on to greater achievements. Superior work is encouraged, but those who did their best are amply re- warded. Three degrees, Honor, Excellence, and Distinction, plus the Degree of Merit as a pupil is enrolled, are awarded for correspond- ing attainment. Each participant receives some recognition. Not only does N. F. L. seek to encourage good speech work, but it offers many other special services. Complete records of the con- tests and of the membership are kept in the national office. At the request of any N. F. L. member, a letter will be sent by the national secretary to the director of speech at any speci- fied university, informing the university of his entrance. Beyond these services, the League sup- plies The Rostrum.” a newspaper containing N. F. L. news, mimeographs, pamphlets, and books on the current debate topic, and some twenty orations and declamations. Pack 70 Row I Louise Bekman. Wilma Hc igcs. Cccilc Blankenship. Louise Hamley.

At the beginning of this season, the declam students of Ottumwa High went to Oskaloosa for an invitational tournament. After this contest was successfully concluded, our girl speakers attended a contest at Davenport and the boys attended another at Muscatine. Our debate squad then went to Burlington and later entertained Fairfield and Oskaloosa here in Ottumwa. While these debaters were gaining ex- perience, our declam team went to Central Col- lege in Pella for another contest. The next important contest was the Iowa- nine debate, with Ottumwa as the host to six schools, including our most feared athletic rivals. The highlight of the entire season was the trip of both debaters and deciam students to Cedar Rapids for the annual Coe College tournament. After sending some wonderful times in the friendly atmosphere of the campus, Annette Stein a top ranking speaker. our sound came home with added glory for our school. The greatest handicap to the squad has been the lack of experience. Almost the entire group is taking part in their first inter-scholas- tic competition. As the season has moved along, these inexperienced amateurs” have done splendid work in upholding the honor of our school. Debate and declam have enlarged the student's mental capacity. Competition and speaking to an audience has given poise and self-confidence seldom found in any other group. Speech work makes it necessary to sway an audience to the speaker's point of view in order to win the decision. Pack 71 D R A M A T C C L U B Row I -Smith. Lumsdon, Wilkinson.

Pace 72 DRAMATIC Arc you interested in good entertainment? If so, you should be interested in the Dramatic Club of the Ottumwa High School, for good entertainment is its purpose. The Dramatic Club under the sponsorship of Miss Danielson gives three or four plays a year and assists in other performances given on the stage. Besides affording good entertainment, the Dramatic Club helps its members to develop their abilities, whether in acting, managing, prompting, or other duties. Improvement is a constant watchword in the Dramatic Club, for each member is constantly trying to get points toward higher honors. Those not in- terested enough to get at least five points a year are (h opped from the roll, as are those who miss more than three meetings without reason- able excuse. Points are acquired in stage crew, paint crew, lighting, acting, prompting, selling tickets, and numerous other ways so Miss Danielson Jack Cornier Belly Amos Jeanne Mclnlirc Corinnc Major Dick Collins and Cork- ev Major painting llats for Good Night Ladies.” that everyone should get the required five. Along with the slogan, The Show Must Go On,” which every showman knows, the Dramatic Club of (). II. S., as well as other organizations, might adopt the Chinese slogan, “Gung I lo,“ which in English means “work together.” It takes just that to put over a stage production. Each jierson must accomp- lish his job and work with the other members of the cast and crews in order to stage a suc- cessful production. I et us now take a quick glance at the Dramatic Club in all its up and coming” phases. Its object is to have its members achieve near perfection in working together, developing their own abilities, helping others to develop theirs, and entertaining the audi- ence. The officers for this year are Jack Cornier, president; Betty Amos, vice-president; Jeanne Mclntire, secretary: Corinne Major, treasurer. Pack 73 Row I Mary Bruce.

Membership in the Players Club is the aspirat ion anti foremost desire of each mem- ber of the (). II. S. Dramatic Club. All Dramatic Club members are eligible for en- trance, but usually those gaining admission have been members of the Dramatic Club for at least two semesters. Every genuine dramatic enthusiast de- siring to reach this challenging goal must first earn the required seventy-five points, which is no easy task. These points may be won by selling tickets, prompting, and working on the numerous stage, paint, costume, and business crews as well as ap- pearing on the stage. Serving as officers for this year are: president, Joan Perry; vice-president, Mar- got Jones; secretary, Virginia Burl; and treasurer, Vivian Hatfield. One of the main functions of the Play- ers' Club is the production of a play, usually given in the spring, the cast of which is com- posed of Players. This, play under the competent direction of Miss Danielson, the club sponsor, is a fitting climax of the year's work. Pace 74 The National Thespian Dramatic Hon- or Society for I Iigh Schools, better known as Thespians, was founded early in the spring of 1929 bv a group of teachers interested in dramatics. The Ottumwa organization, number 615, was organized on January 1, 1945 with twleve charter members. Alter their first annual banquet on June 5, 1945. fifteen additional members were installed. The requirements for entrance arc one hundred points, which are acquired through acting and production. The purpose of the organization is to create a more active and intelligent interest in high school dramatics. Membership is evidence of the student’s previous ability and his desire to excel with enough points to become Star. Double Star, or I lonor Thespian. Perhaps the thing which best expresses the aims and spirit ol Thespians is their motto “Act well your part, there all honor lies.” Belly Amos Cecilc Blankenship Mary Bruce Virginia Burl Jack Cornier Joan Crumhlil I ini Davis Marilyn Dodds Boh Foxx lunette I larding Vivian ilatlield Margot Jones Jeanne Mclntire Corinnc Major Dorothy Piersol Charles Stewart Page 75 Row I David I.ml wick.

On many occasions during the school year the band displays its “spirit arousing ability. BAND In pep assemblies the resounding cheers of the students are intensified by (lie music of the band. Also at the football and basketball games the students and the team are spurred on by the band’s excellent performance be- tween halves and during the entire game. The spring concert should also be mentioned as one of the band's brilliant accomplishments. This year the band is under the expert direction of Mr. Cleveland Dayton, known to all as “Prof . Although his some eighty band members possess an unusual amount ol excel- lent talent, the members are constantly trying to improve their abilities. A few of the talented members are drum major. Jack Trautwein; first trumpet, Bob Frazer; first clarinet, Colleen Farnsworth; first trombone, Bill Young; and first drum, Wallace Douma. However, with the support ol all, the hand marches forward. Pack 80 A prominent role in high school activities is taken by our orchestra under the direction of Mr. Waldo Scott. Its chief purpose is to obtain a well balanced program for the students featuring both vocal anti instrumental music. Of course, our orchestra enters into state- wide competition. They usually go to Iowa City to State Music Contest, where they are judged by a well known orchestra leader, li granted an invitation, the orchestra also at- tentis the Iowa State Music Festival at Ames. This year Ottumwa was host to a festival con- sisting of all Little Six Orchestras. The Ottumwa High School orchestra also entertains the public with selections at Open House, High School Night. Baccalaureate, anti Commencement. They also play before our high school Dramatic Club presentations and between acts. These programs are enjoyed greatly by our students, parents, anti friends. ORCHESTRA The orchestra members enjoy giving them too, for any chance to bring more fame to our or- chestra is not often disregarded. Rehearsals are held twice weekly for the entire group. Any student who shows suffi- cient ability in playing a musical instrument is allowed to become a member of the Ottumwa High School Orchestra. It is an honor for a student of Ottumwa High School to belong to such an organization as our orchestra. Row I Mr. Scott. Joan Perry. Daryl Jones. Floyd Coffin. Donna Slattery. I.inlord Kcesey.

TRIO SEXTETTE In the small vocal groups we find the more talented students of the music department. It is not necessary to possess an exceptional voice to be in one of these groups, but you must have a good clear quality and an accurate pitch. This year, there are three vocal groups, a girls' trio, and two girls’ sextettes. The members of the girls' trio are Olive Camille Hancock, Betty Loy, and Ruth Troeger; Janice Yahn, accompanist. ’Phe girls' voices blend beautifully to- gether. They are asked to furnish entertain- ment for many civic organizations in our city as well as performances at school. The mem- l ers of the trio put forti� much time and effort to produce the songs and ballads that they present in programs for the various groups which they entertain. The work of the girls’ trio is under the expert direction of Miss Selma Aas. Among the small vocal groups which fur- nish much entertainment for civic organiza- tions as well as our students of (). II S. at various times during the year are the two girls’ sextettes. The members of these sextettes meet twice a week outside of school hours, for rehearsals under the fine direction of Miss Selma Aas, head of the O. 11 S. music depart- ment. Great care is taken in the selection of these groups to choose the voices that will most easily blend with each other. Experience in these groups helps to give a certain amount of responsibility, besides good vocal training. The members of each sextette work hard and spend much time in planning new ways and moods of singing the well-known songs they present. Every year one of our small vocal groups is entered in the State Music Contest. Page 84 ORGANIZATIONS Row I Jim Tharp. Lee Guitcr. Don Ferguson.

This club, whose purpose is to Create, maintain, and extend throughout the high school and community a high stand- ard of Christian living, is one of the outstand- ing boys' organizations in our school. The I li-Y's principals are clean speech, clean sports, clean living, and clean scholarship. It is in- deed a privilege and honor for a high school boy to belong to this club. This popular organization has many functions. The boys in the club are host to their parents each fall at Father and Son and Mother and Son banquets. The Hi-Y is also in charge of our annual homecoming, the highlight of all the club’s activities. The many dances following our Ottumwa High’s sports events are planned and executed by the Hi-Yers. A representative is usually sent to the annual National Hi-Y Convention, where new friends are made and new ideas acquired for each representative’s respective club. The I li-Y also provides various entertainment for its members and guests, such as sports, festi- vals. dances, and hay rides. The Hi-Y, this year, has nearly fifty mem- bers. The officers for the year are Bob Angle, president; Don Ferguson, vice-president; and Wayne Peterson, secretary-treasurer. All the members of the Hi-Y greatly appreciate the time and assistance given them by Mr. Ad- dams of the Y. M. C. A. and several members of the high school faculty. Pack 86 I Ii-Tri may be given as an example of the spirit of democracy that prevails in O. II. S. since no special qualifications are needed for membership. All girls, desiring entrance into the club are admitted, regardless of race, creed, or color. Closely affiliated with the Y. V. C. A. and Girl Reserves, I Ii-Tri, sponsored by Mrs. Cox, is organized not for social purposes alone. The commendable aim of the fifty members is the development in each girl of a pleasing | erson- alitv and character. Group discussion and talks presented at meetings to assist those members encumbered by shyness or lack of confidence are but a few of the “personality perfecting merits of this active group. Ili-Tri is ruled by a cabinet composed of Ruby Carr, president; Va Donna freedom, vice-president; Lavetta McDaniels, secretary; Joanne Smith, treasurer, and several commit- tees. Participation in the many activities gains for the perserving member the coveted Ili- Tri letter. This letter identifies its owner as the possessor of all the qualifications that make up an alert, intelligent girl of today, and pos- sessor of the material to l ecome one of the out- standing “Women of Tomorrow.

The Art Club is organized for the social enjoyment of its members as well as for creating greater interest and keener appre- ciation ol all phases of art. Any student is eligible to join this club, especially art class members. Business meetings are held once a month. Several parties and other social activities are held during the year at which the members become better acquainted. Miss Eighme, sponsor of the Art Club, feels that the club has grown in membership due to increased interest in art. Students of the club work to build up enough points to gain membership into Iota Alpha Gamma, an inner art circle of the club. Members spend much time and patience producing masterpieces.” In the A r t Room materials are available to work out original ideas in any medium desired. These works of art arc put on display in the halls or art room. Pack 88 IOTA ALPHA GAMMA Inner Art Group”, tile meaning of the Greek letters, Iota Alpha Gamma,” explains in itself the functions of one of the newest and most progressive clubs in the Ottumwa High School. Organized less than two years ago. Iota Alpha Gamma, under the sponsorship of Miss Eighme, serves the purpose its name implies. Membership in this select art group is obtained by earning fifty points through outside art work, set designing, and participation in the various projects sponsored by Iota Alpha Gamma or the Art Club. Within Iota Alpha Gamma is even greater glory since members can enter their work in exhibits, thus earning points toward the much coveted Degrees of Distinction.” The first group of officers given the honor of presiding over this new organization were Ronnie McNamer, president; Lucille Roberts, vice-president; Jack Conder, secretary; and Marilyn Stansberry, treasurer. The officers chosen to preside this year are Jack Cornier, president; Richard Spurlock, vice-president; Donna Fish bum, secretary: and Phyllis Crable. treasurer. The members of Iota Alpha Gamma Inner Art Group are carrying out very suc- cessfully the aim of the club, To further ar- tistic ability and create opportunities by which each may advance.” Janet Foster.

The Ottumwa High School Spanish Club, a relatively new organization, is steadily grow- ing to be one of the largest and best liked of all the extra-curricular activities in our school. It is by far the largest foreign language organi- zation in the Ottumwa High School. This club, under the direction of Senor Lawrence Hamley, has gwo chief purposes, one to educate, the other to entertain. The club has always been noted for l eing a fun loving organization. Phis year many more serious programs were on schedule. At a few of the Spanish Club's meetings, lectures were SPANISH CLUB given by prominent travelers on Central anil South America. Moving pictures made by people who have traveled in Latin America were also shown frequently. Spanish, of course, is spoken at all meetings. Some ol the members of the club become well known by the singing of Spanish songs. Members often dress in the garb of the Spaniards to provide even more enjoyable education and entertain- ment at the meetings. Picnics and other parties are often planned for added enjoyment. The club's success anil growing popularity is due largely to the assistance of Senor I lam- ley and the officers. These officers are, el p residente, Senorita Shirley Whitmore; el vice-presidente, Senorita Vivian Lanz; el secretario-tesoreo, Senor Bob Frazer; el jefe de programo, Senorita Doris Smith. Each member of the Spanish Club wishes to extend his thanks to the officers and to Mr. I lamlev for the splendid times provided for them at the meeting of the club during the past year. These meetings should help create a better understanding among the Americas. Page 00 The old adage, Business before pleasure certainly does not apply to the 0. 11. S. Com- mercial Club, since the fifty-nine girls enrolled in this group have endeavored successfully to combine botn these factors, business anti pleas- ure, in an organization that offers valuable ex- perience anil satisfying enjoyment to all its members. Any person carrying two or more com- mercial subjects, or who has hail two or more commercial subjects is eligible for full member- ship in this group. The chief objective of Commercial Club members and their sponsor,.Mrs. Wilson, is to promote an interest anti higher standard of training in business ; therefore to assist mem- bers in the fulfillment of their aim, talks anti demonstrations are given by prominent local business people on what will l e expected of students when they become a part of the in- tricate world of business. All is not work, however, since each year finds the Commercial Club's social calendar overflowing with pa r t ies and other amuse- ments.

Containing an abundant wealth of knowledge, the library of the Ottumwa High School is designed to meet adequately the needs of the faculty and student body. The Librarians’ Club is composed of approximately thirty students who con- tribute their spare time to the duties that make this club such a success. Besides finding research and fiction books for the students, the librarians check books, take care of library slips, type, file, and keep the books in their correct order. The library is open not only during the five regular periods out also throughout the noon hour and sixth period, thus enabling students to accomplish research and study. Each semester the Librarians' Club elects new officers for the next semester. The following officers were chosen for the first semester: John Capell, president; Wayne Kinion. vice-president; Lois Boyce, secretary-treasurer. Under the capable supervision l Miss Gallanar, the club will continue to share a prominent position in our school. Pack 02 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The home is the greatest of all institu- tions”. To help promote and further the student’s interest in her home and community has been the main reason for organizing the (). II. S. Home Economics Club. To be eligible for membership in this club one must maintain an average grade of eighty-five and Ik enrolled in one or more of the home making subjects. One of the main functions of the Home Economics Club is to help one acquire the poise and graciousness that is necessary for be- coming a charming hostess. To develop these abilities, the organization is divided into groups, and each group is given the opportun- ity to serve as hostess at one program. This committee also plans the problems for dis- cussion. the entertainment, and refreshments for the monthly meeting. Thus the members of the club acquire experience valuable to them in later life. Those serving as officers for this year arc: president, Bonnie Fuqua: vice-president. Mari- yn Mickle, secretary. Mary Ann Hoskins; treasurer, Vivian Doud; program committee, Phyllis Brown. Ramona Barton, and Laveta McDaniels. The I lome Economics Club, under the able leadership of Miss Kasischke, is destined to be one of the most outstanding extra-cur- ricular activities this year.

He took college work at Iowa Wesleyan and post graduate work in physical education at the University of Iowa and Colorado State. Don has been around (). II. S. quite some time. Becoming head coach in 1936, he has coached winning teams ever since except for the year when he was overseas serving in the Red Cross. Don and Fred Maasdam, also have charge of the C). II. S. student gym classes. Fred Maasdam is equally familiar to (). II. S. track fans and student gym classes alike. During the fall, Fred is the assistant football coach and supervisor of cross country workouts. This man of all work attended Parsons College and took post-graduate work at Iowa University. Fred is the fulltime track coach for Ottumwa and turns out top-notch teams consistently. Ottumwa welcomes a new Sophomore football coach, Pat Page. However, Pal is not new to O. 11. S. I le has taught woodshop ever since 1924, when he first came to Ottumwa as an assistant coach. Pat attended Iowa State and graduated from Parsons, receiving his M. S. from Colorado State.

S. gridders were a winning combination this year, as they finish- ed the 1945 football season undefeated. Tied in the opening tilt with West Waterloo they demonstrated the Bulldog spirit by defeating every other opponent. Composing the nu- cleus of the squad were Wavnc Peterson and Clark Phillips, ends; Gene Glenn and Bob lohnson, tackles; Hollis Brownlee, Ronald McCall, and I ee Guiter, guards; Terry Harper center; Don Ferguson, Bob Angle, Don Cud- worth, Bob Nevins, and Wayne Spinks in the backfield. In winning these games, the Bull- dogs piled up two hundred and six jx ints while their opponents were held to twenty-six. By defeating all of the conference teams, the Red and White” once again gained the title of Little Six Champions”. Long hours of Ijractice ami perfect team cooperation was the tey to the Bulldogs success, and for this achievement {upholding the record of their school) the students of O. H. S. are proud.

Fred Maasdam's red and white s{ eeds- lers racked up their first victory in the Little Six indoor meet at Iowa City. Their hard weeks of training paid off there as in the Oskaloosa relays, where the Bulldogs took fourth. Ottumwa then look a picked team to the Drake Relays. Don Ferguson and Dick McKelvey took the only Ottumwa points with a fourth place in the broad jump and high hurdles, respectively, journey- ing to Fort Madison, Ottumwa copped sec- ond there, and showed growing strength. In the District, held at Schaffer Field, the Bulldog cinder-pounders took second with three 0. II. S. trackmen gaining places in the state meet; Bob Angle, throwing the discus, Ed Smith running the mile, and Dick McKelvev i n t h e hurdles. McKelvey brought in Ottumwa’s only points with a fifth place in the high hurdles. O. II. S. made a clean sweep of the Little Six by winning the outdoor meet, also at Ottumwa, bringing home a Little Six Conference championship. Pack 104 BASKETBALL The O. II. S. Bulldogs completed one of the most successful basketball seasons the red and white have ever played. Bowing in reg- ular play to but two teams. Muscatine and Albia, the Ottumwa ns secured the sole control of the Little Six Conference championship. We were forced to share the crown with Burl- ington and Muscatine in 1944; in 1945 with the Muskies . but this vear the red and white banner flies alone on tfie championship flag- pole. Coach Don Newell was faced this year with the cheerless prospect of but one regular from last year, all state guard Don Ferguson. In the back court was added Bob Angle, also a senior. Verle Burgason was picked for the center slot but because of illness, Jim Hill- house took over early in the season. Three forwards were used, “Zip Clayton, Jim Er- land, Jerry Long, all juniors and all candidates for next year’s team. Don. however, built a strong team that captured not only the Little Six but swept through the district meet to be stopped in the sub-state by the Hawklets of Iowa City. Next year? Well, this year, the sophomore team was undefeated in twenty- two games and won the county tournament. Row I Ddii Ferguson, Charles Clay von.

S. took its third win of the year. Ottumwa played host to Centerville and Oskaioosa and won easily. The team next won in rapid succession from Catholic Central and Centerville. O. II. S. then entered the Little Six meet, winning for the seventh straight year. Larry Feldman was the medalist for the meet. O. II. S. then took the district meet in its stride, with two Ot- tumwa golfers, Feldman and Schaffer, again medalists. Ottumwa missed winning the state meet for the third year by three strokes. Sid Poling, a senior, was the medalist for Ottumwa. Though not win- ning the state, Ottumwa won seven meets and lost one. Paof 108 The rip roaring veils of the student body do much to encourage the team on to victory. 'This victory might be impossible if it were not for the energetic, enthusiastic cheer leaders, who do their best to guide the students in yells, school songs, and other antics necessary for triumph. This year the cheer leaders, Virginia Burt, Klva Lou Buckley. Orlo Nichols, and Jack Conder were elected by popular vote of the student body. After witnessing many try- outs, each student was asked to vote for the four candidates he thought best. The two re- ceiving the next highest number of votes were chosen as reserves. They were Colleen Sibert and Marjorie Moore. The sophomore cheer leaders were Betty Thatcher and Marjorie McGee. I lie task of the cheer leaders is a very difficult but important one. They must keep up the morale of the student body when the team is lagging and lead the cheers of victory when the team is winning. The cheer leaders are expertly advised and coached by Mrs. Mott and Miss Bernau. Cooperation” should be each student's goal, for without the aid of the student body, the cheer leaders can accomplish little. Colleen Sibert. Jack Conder. Virginia Burt. Klva lani Buckley.

Sports and games, as one might easily guess, reign supreme with all of the ap- proximately eighty members of the Girls’ Athletic Association. Throughout the en- tire year, G. A. A. members are always known to be engaged in some type of sport or ath'etic activity. Any girl aspiring to become an active member of G. A. A. must earn fifty points or be credited with thirteen actual hours of sports activity. Participation in baseball, basketball, badminton, or volleyball are but a few of the means of gaining the points leading to G. A. A. membership. Points earned through taking an active part in the clubs activities qualify members for the much desired G. A. A. letter or national G. A. A. award. The officers chosen to officiate this year are Christine Kcasiing, president; Darlene Winningham, vice-president; Martha Cal- houn. point secretary; Corinne Major, secretary-treasurer; and Colleen Sibert. publicity. Pace II� The more talented mermaids of the Ot- tumwa High School are most likely to l c found in Shark Club, an honor swimming society. It is one of the few organizations associated with girls’ athletics. Very rigid tryouts are held at the beginning of each semester; therefore, it is easy to understand the reason for the club’s high standards. The girls are required to pass Junior Life Saving tests during the first year of their membership. After passing these tests they are able to get as life guards or as assistants in one of the girls’ swimming classes. The highlight of the club’s activities is the annual water pageant. This show is planned along a definite theme. Stroke drills and rhythm swimming, plain and fancy diving, water formations, floating, humorous stunts, and life saving demon- strations are included in this pageant. The club’s officers this year were: president, Martha Calhoun; vice-president, Colleen Sibert; secretary, Marilyn Story; and treasurer, Beverly Thatcher. Row I Beverly Thatcher, Marilyn Story.

President Grant was declining candidacy for a third term just seventy-one years ago. Tchaikov- sky was just introducing his First Piano Concerto in B Flat Minor, so popular with us today, and Mark Twain was putting the finish- ing touches on a book he was to publish the following year called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” It's old-fashioned to be coy about your age, so we admit to being seventy-one this year. Did we hear you say, Happy Birthday to You”? Well. Congratulations, Class of 1946! Pack 114 THE LOWENBERG BAKERY OTTUMWA Congratulations To the members of the Class of 1946 as you con- clude four memorable high school years and confidently face the future our sincere good wishes for continued success. John Morrell Co., an Ottumwa institution for over 69 years, has congratulated members of class after class, for generation after generation, but each year the wishes are new and sincere. Students of today are homemakers of tomorrow, and we are happy that Morrell Pride products are confidently welcomed into new homes as a part of the scheme of things that contribute to the joy of good living. We promise never to take this confidence lightly. John Morrell Co. Established in England in 1827 •• In America since 1865 Packing Plants: Ottumwa, Iowa • Sioux Falls, S.
